More service opportunities are available through Illinois Extension's 4-H program which continues to drive young people's passion for local giving. The Youth Leadership Team coordinates initiatives like food drives to benefit local pantries and organizations while fostering a sense of giving back.

Taylor Pope, 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator says the 4-H members involved have expressed interest in these deeds of good service and now look to the week of the Christian County Fair, July 15th-20th, to gather donations of food.

Pope has been proud to see the 4-Her’s response to the activities that give back to the community and looks to encourage these types of initiatives in the future.
